Duke Basketball: Blue Devils would be unranked if games ended at half
March may be unkind to the Duke basketball players unless their first-half play undergoes a speedy transformation.
You win some. You lose some. As for first halves, the Duke basketball team has lost more than it should have.
NINE TIMES.
Roughly a third of its first halves this season.
Three in a row at the moment (not so uncoincidentally coinciding with the absence of Zion Williamson, who remains day-to-day after suffering a Grade 1 knee sprain on Duke’s first possession against UNC on Feb. 20).
Five of the past seven (mostly coinciding with its recently completed six-game stretch, the most daunting of any team in the nation this season).
